There are multiple penetrations for the tail lights, plastic "trim lip," and key/lock assembly through the back of the car and trunk lid. The only thing that stops water seepage past these penetrations are gaskets. I had seepage over a year ago, but disassembled the tail lights and resealed the gaskets -- which fixed the problem for a while. Water is seeping somewhere again and collects in the spare wheel well.

This is a very common problem with BMW E46 3 series too. As well, sunroof drains plug & fill your rear seat wells with water. I know first hand btw . . .
